are called direct step-descent basses. When direct step-descent basses are
cast in the minor mode they are known as lament basses. Lament basses
often accompany melancholy texts, which are not historically confined to the
seventeenth century. Songs such as "Hit the Road, Jack," and "Erie Canal"

PLE 24.4 Common Types of Augmented Sixth Chords


THE AUGMENTED 6TH
• First, write the bass of the V chord (the chord AFTER the aug6)

• Double it in an upper voice (probably soprano)

• Then, go back to the Aug6 and write the aug 6th tendency tones

• The bass (b6) should resolve down to 5

• The upper voice (#4) should resolve up to 5

• Add scale degree 1

• Finally:

• Italian: Double scale degree 1

• French: Add scale degree 2

• German : Add 5th above the bass


In major keys, this added pitch is When a occurs in the major
mode and leads to a cadential with a major sixth above the bass,
composers often notate using the enharmonic equivalent #2
(Example 24.7E).

No. But there is a chord which makes sense as a chromatic pivot.

Phrase Group!

2. A series of phrases punctuated by weak cadences-none of which is


strong enough to close a passage-does not constitute a period.
Rather, it is just a phrase chain, or phrase group. Sometimes a
composer writes a series of phrases, each of which contains new
material, but the cadences in each, save for the final phrase, are
weak or even more like caesuras. Thus, we must consider the
strength of the final cadence in order to discriminate a period from
a phrase group.
Example 16.9 has three distinct four-measure units, but only the
third closes with a real cadence. The first unit, which alternates
tonic and dominant, barely qualifies as a phrase, and the second
unit merely elaborates tonic with a IV-I motion. Yet, given that the

There are two types of transposition, tonal and real. Tonal


transposition maintains the generic (numerical) size of the intervals but
alters the quality of the intervals in order to remain within the key. Real
TONAL Transposition
transposition maintains the specific (both generic and quality) interval
size between each member of the motive and the transposed repetition of
the motive. For example, given the motive E-F-G in the key of C major, a
tonal transposition up a third would yield the pitches G-A-B; we sacrifice
the exact intervals of the original (m2 followed by M2) in order to stay
firmly in the key of C major. A real transposition would yield the pitches
Retrograde inversion is a transformation that combines inversion and
retrograde. Thus, one performs an inverted form of the motive backwards.

MODIFIED REPETITION -
Composers rarely employ retrograde and retrograde inversion, given how
difficult they are to aurally recognize. We can summarize these transformations
using a contour diagram such as the one shown in Example 3.12. Notice that

PITCH TRANSFORMATIONS
since the model (taken from one of the cantus firmi in Chapter 2) creates an arch
(ascent followed by descent) and that the first three pitches (G-A-C) are
reversed at the end (C-A-G), the retrograde version and the model are quite
audibly related. Study each of the transformations, all of which are tonal (as
opposed to real, and thus remain within G major), and notice how pitches and
intervals are related in each of the transformations.
